Afternoon all,

I've not posted a song in a while - I've been writing & recording but nothing has quite made it to the end yet.
This track is, sadly, stuck with my vocal.
Part of the lyric is from an older song in a collaboration. I've altered them significantly & wrote new music rather than use the old as well.
BIAB content included:
organ - 2692
RealDrums - AltRockslowsteady8th
lead guitar - 3438 &
Piano - 811
I threw in the lap slide, bass, guitar and some MIDI stuff as well as the mournful vocal.
Oh, I threw in a vibraslap sample...not a great one but I'm experimenting with the placement of it. They're such odd things and can be corny as well as overused. I've placed it once and hope it makes sense.
DRENCHED in delay & reverb, this may not be many folk's cup of meat but, to me, it suits the vibe I was going for.
As it's a work in progress I'd LOVE feedback general & specific.
LYRICS:
Gravity asserts itself
Books fall from the shelf

Secret thoughts, secret fears,
Covert love, hidden tears.
Broken rhythm, broken rhyme

Love on earth’s not what it seemed
Life’s something I could not have dreamed
Tragedies compound
My flights of fancy hit the ground.

Gravity inverts itself
Books stack on the shelf

Secret thoughts, secret fears,
Crypto love, cryptic tears.
Spoken rhythm, token rhyme

Gravity diverts itself
Books burn on the shelf

Life on earth was someone’s dream
A lovely thought not long to gleam
Tragedies accrued
All my lessons were eschewed.
